The Fort of Brasschaat has been a military domain for more than 100 years. Bats currently find their home there.

The fortress was built in 1909-1912. The unreinforced concrete buildings stand on a triangular fortress island. It is a fortress of the second order with attached lapel caponiers. The access bridge and the traditore battery behind it are clearly visible and have plasterwork with blocks on the corners. During the First World War, there was no fighting at the fortress of Brasschaat. After 1918, the armament was modernized and the fortress building adapted for gas attacks. The western fortress moat has been part of the Antitankgracht since 1939. In the late 1970s, the Belgian army tried to blow up the fortress. This resulted in the destruction of the left wing of the fort.

In the vicinity of the Fort you will find nice single tracks. You can also dig from here along the Antitankgracht to the Albert Canal.
